TOPPERS

What this record means

The record shows that the mark TOPPERS is dead, having been abandoned by TruCo. Distributors LLC, a limited liability company organized in New York, after the applicant failed to respond to an office action. The mark was filed on November 10, 2015 on an intent‑to‑use basis and covered the single class 030, staple foods, specifically croutons. Because the mark is no longer active, it does not grant any control over the use of the word TOPPERS in other contexts, but the closest concern would arise for anyone selling croutons or similar staple food products. The prosecution history indicates a standard refusal and abandonment sequence, with no supplemental register involvement. The last meaningful event was the abandonment notice mailed on July 14, 2016. No enforcement activity is recorded. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status reduces the risk, yet the specific goods listed still present a potential concern if used in the same food category.
